The lecture component of this course introduces the funda - mental principles of heredity; DNA structure and replication, the processes of transcription, translation, and regulation of gene expression; and structural, functional, and compara - tive genomics. The course covers the application of major genetic concepts, principles, and techniques to understand and solve biological questions. The laboratory component of this course introduces the fundamental principles of heredity and uses scien - tific method to understand and solve genetic questions. Emphasis is placed on transmission genetics, molecular genetics, genomics, and biotechnology, with work focused on discussion and problem-solving activities. Students must engage with primary literature (e.g., written paper or annotated bibliography). Students must give oral presenta - tions. Wet lab work is not required.
